Good Mac games to play on my MacBook

So I find myself in Italy, while my PSP, (my usual source of travel entertainment) languishes in my cupboard in the USA taunting me with its absence. So I have two choices, actually do work, (which will be very dull) or find some good games I can download and play on my MacBook. It's a clear choice!

Here are my system specs...

Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz

So, does anyone have any suggestions of some good games I can buy online and play? Ideally I'm looking for something like Civ 4 or GalCiv, but I'd also be ammenable to a game like Puzzle Quest, or even something in the Diablo 2 vein. Honestly anything which you can sit and play for a good while, as during shifts here I have a lot of downtime. Anyone out there got any suggestions for games which will be fun and run well? Whether pay or free to play, the key aspect is that I must be able to download it somewhere.

Heck, even a good suggestion of a place to buy mac games to download online would help. So save me from my boredom penny arcade forums, else I shall be forced to do the job for which I am paid.

    Seems like any of the Blizzard games would be no brainers. They're acquirable off their website.

    Assuming you haven't already played WC3 to death or whatever. :)

    Oooh, warcraft 3, I hadn't thought of this! It came out ages ago, it probably won't need a fancy video card :)

    Peggle and Plants vs. Zombies both have Mac versions. Rather, all PopCap games do, and I believe they all have free trials, so you can see what you're getting into before you drop your $20.

    As I recall, it runs fine on my sister's MacBook, which only has integrated graphics.
